this email is basically a "me too" - i have nothing insightful to add to
the discussion, i just want to register my opinion on:
* a requirement for disclosure provisions (Section 7);
i am in favor of a requirement for disclosure. furthermore, i believe
there should be a requirement that non-disclosed patents be freely
licensed for use by all, so there are no loopholes.
* a procedure for launching new standards development activities as
Royalty-Free Licensing Mode activities (sections 4 and 5);
i believe that this is a fair and reasonable model, and upholds the
current openness of web standards.
* a procedure for launching new standards development activities as
Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (RAND) Licensing Mode activities
(sections 4 and 5);
i am against this licensing model. as many people have said, much more
eloquently than i can - web standards should be freely available for all
to use.
regards,
lisa
